i dont think mw2 is the best game in the franchise. The campaign is really solid, even tho it has some annoying moments in veteran, like the favela levels or the safe house from loose ends.
Spec ops was the most frustrating. Like all old cods, the PC port is absolute garbage so there's no lan or splitscreen coop, only solo and online play. No remote play together, of course. So you are locked out of a few spec ops achievements unless you buy a friend the game, which isnt that easy because this game is still hella expensive for a 10yo game.
Though only two missions are coop exclusive, most of the veteran versions feel impossible in solo. Juggernauts have to be the most annoying enemy in the entire game and devs just paste them into every veteran difficulty they can find. The Echo set of missions is simply ridiculous.

Then there's the multiplayer. Its an instant classic? yeah. It has some pretty obvious balancing issues that never got fixed, the dlc's split the playerbase, there's no crossplay and the matchmaking is just awful. No dedicated servers, bad anticheat, etc etc.
and without dedicated servers, that also means the maps are totally random. and some maps are absolute bangers, but most are trash. like, hot garbage.

recomended? yeah, i guess, but dont expect a lot from it.
